Dart’s single purpose was supposed to be a JS successor for browsers.

I can understand trepidation about committing to a sibling of Google Reader, but I’m also glad Dart is getting a second shake. It’s very much a general-purpose language.

I personally enjoy writing Dart a lot more than Go. It really added to my experience learning and working with Flutter.

The risk is when it happens unintentionally. The language is bad for hiding such errors by being overly ‘helpful’ in assuming intent.
